A 74-year-old Woodstock man suffered life threating injuries and three others were hospitalized, following a two-vehicle crash in unincorporated Dorr Township, Friday afternoon.
On June 23, 2023, at 2:26 p.m., members of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office, Woodstock Police Department, Woodstock Fire Protection District, Wonder Lake Fire Department, McHenry Township Fire Protection District, Hebron Alden Greenwood Fire Protection District, Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department, and Huntley Fire Protection District responded to the intersection of Route 14 and Rose Farm Road for a two-vehicle accident involving multiple injuries and entrapment.
Preliminary investigation indicated that a 2015 Toyota Rav4 was traveling northbound on Rose Farm Road and had a stop sign. A 2006 Chevrolet Silverado was traveling westbound on Route 14 and did not have a stop sign. For unknown reasons the Toyota failed to yield and caused a crash with the Chevrolet. This resulted in the Toyota rolling over and both vehicles ended up in the northwest ditch.
The driver of the Toyota, a 72-year-old Woodstock woman and her passenger, the 74-year-old man were flown by helicopter to Condell Hospital in Libertyville, with the woman sustaining serious injuries and the man, life threatening injuries. Two passengers of the Chevrolet, a 25-year-old Harvard woman and a 4-year-old child sustained serious injuries. The woman was transported by ambulance to Northwestern in McHenry and later flown by helicopter to Condell in Libertyville. The child was transported by ambulance to Northwestern in Huntley. The driver of the Chevrolet, a 25-year-old Harvard man, along with two other children were evaluated on scene for injuries but were not transported.
The investigation is ongoing by the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office Major Traffic Crash Investigation Unit.
